The current national policy to manage nuclear waste from power plants is to dispose of it in a repository to be constructed at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. With many different assumptions about uncertainties and objectives, this strategy is shown to be the equivalent of $10,000 million to $50,000 million inferior to other available strategies. The implications of the analysis strongly suggest that our national policy to manage nuclear waste should be changed.
